Chorus

           E5                   C5           D5
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance

E5                           C5              D5
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance

E5                                C5        D5
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves

E5                                            C5                 B5
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse

E5                  C5                      D5               E5  
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with, I declare

C5              D5
I stare into your eyes

E5             C5                 D5
But you look right past me into the air

E5             C5                D5
What's it like to stand in your shoes?

E5                          C5             B5
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?

E5                    C5                          D5
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed
 
E5                        C5              D5
Alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last

E5                 C5         D5
Uninspired by the recruiting call

              E5
Independent we stand

E5  C5  B5
Independent we fall

Prechorus Verse

 E5                         C5                           G5
So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?

D5
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?

E5            C5
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control

G5              D5
At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul

           E5                     C5
Sit tight, but the revolution's years away

G5                            D5
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

E5                      C5
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

G5                            D5
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

         E5           C5          G5              D5
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last

E5                        C5
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

 G5                        D5
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

E5     C5           G5                        D5                  
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from

E5                C5
And everybody's laughing loud

G5                                                 D5
Last chance to make your mother and your father proud

E5  C5   D5   E5  C5  D5  E5 C5  D5    E5     C5  B5  
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

E5  C5   D5   E5  C5  D5  E5 C5  D5    E5     C5  B5  
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Chorus

           E5                   C5           D5
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance

E5                           C5              D5
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance

E5                                C5        D5
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves

E5                                            C5                 B5
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse

            E5               C5                D5
They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family 

      E5                C5                D5
And everyone you knew, and everyone you'll ever meet"

   E5                    C5               D5
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could

E5                          C5        B5
But we do what we want, we don't do what we should

E5    C5                      D5
Now, everybody's laughing, 'cause they're thinking they're


in on something I don't get

E5
Don't forget

C5             D5
I connect and I read every word you said

E5               C5            D5
Like a child who believes he was wronged

E5                           C5     B5
If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs
